Synopsis
This beloved picture book—first published in 1946—gives a colorful glimpse of the Christmas traditions on Olvera Street, a Latino neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles.
This Caldecott Honor book from beloved children's book author Leo Politi, originally published in 1946, is set on Olvera Street, the site of Los Angeles's original Latino settlement, which is still very much as it once was—a busy and colorful mélange of small artisan shops, restaurants, and strolling musicians.
Pedro tells of the community's Christmas tradition of the posada, a procession that reenacts Mary and Joseph's pilgrimage to Bethlehem, and of the piñata, a papier-mâché vessel filled with toys that children break open at the posada's end. Pedro hopes to find a music box among the toys that will spill out of the piñata. But first, he is asked to don the red wings of an angel and lead the procession. Because he not only is costumed like an angel but also sings like one, he is also asked to lead the chorus in the traditional posada song. Music and lyrics for the song are included so that children may create their own posada pageant.
Ages six and up.

Hardback. Condition: New. This Caldecott Honor book from beloved children's book author Leo Politi, originally published in 1946, is set on Olvera Street, the site of Los Angeles' original Latino settlement, which is still preserved very much as it once was - a busy and colourful melange of small artisan shops, restaurants, and strolling musicians. "Pedro" tells of the community's Christmas tradition of the 'posada', a procession that re-enacts Mary and Joseph's pilgrimage to Bethlehem, and of the 'pinata', a papier-mache vessel filled with toys that children break open at the Posada's end. "Pedro" hopes to find a music box among the toys that will spill out of the pinata. But first, he is asked to don the red wings of an angel and lead the procession. Because he not only is costumed like an angel but also sings like one, he is asked to lead the chorus in the traditional Posada song. Music and lyrics for the song are included, and with them children may create their own Posada pageant. Seller Inventory # LU-9780892369904
